The Performance of Regional Public Councils in Kazakhstan
Abstrak
Abstract The government of Kazakhstan promotes active citizenship and has introduced state-sanctioned consultative bodies, such as public councils, into the existing public administration. While public councils are formally autonomous, the state controls their agenda and regulate their inclusivity. According to Jayasuriya and Rodan’s model of state-sponsored political participation, irrespective of state control, such institutions can influence policy outcomes and manage social dissatisfaction. Elaborating on this framework, this study finds that local state bodies informally control public councils to ensure the interests of the state and business elites and manage public discontent. This implies that social conflict between the business elite and the state, on the one hand, and the general public on the other, is inadequately managed through the public councils.
